Nutella Pudding

I love Nutella (who doesn’t), so I’ve been developing all kinds of delicious ways to satisfy my cravings. A spoonful of Nutella is one of my favorite snacks, I mean… desserts. I don’t know about you, but I can’t get away with eating very much sugar – even organic sugar. So, I’ve been working on my favorite flavors without refined sugar. I’m right in the middle of a mission to use up 21 avocados, and this Nutella Pudding is one of the results.

Place all of the ingredients for the pudding in the food processor, fitted with the chopping blade and process until smooth. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides to make sure the finished product is completely smooth.

This pudding is good all by itself but, I like it even better with whipped cream and it’s the best with chopped hazelnuts and chocolate. In this case, more is definitely better!

Made this last night and it was excellent, even without hazelnut oil! What a great discovery and I will certainly repeat this in our household. I will use Amaretto to substitute for the hazelnut oil next time…certainly a very tasty, easy to prepare, healthy and gluten free dessert! Thanks for posting this recipe online!

Amaretto sounds like a delicious substitution! You can use other roasted nut oils as well if you can’t have hazelnuts, I find most of mine at TJ Max of all places – they have lots of interesting stuff in their small food section! 🙂

I can’t find the hazelnut oil anywhere! But I did find artificial flavoring…..I hate the thought of using that but thought I could use coconut oil and the hazelnut flavoring till I find the hazelnut oil, don’t you think???

You can also use Frangelico which is a hazelnut flavored liquor to give you a deep hazelnut flavor. I tried a hazelnut extract, but it wasn’t very flavorful. A artificial flavoring might give you better results than the extract, but I would definitely try to order hazelnut oil online.
